Bernanke: Obama Unemployment Numbers 'Out of Sync'
American Thinker ^ | 3/28/2012 | William Tate

Posted on 03/28/2012 8:02:45 AM PDT by NMRed

Declining jobless numbers, sprouting lately from the Obama administration like so many spring crocuses, have left even the Chairman of the Federal Reserve puzzled over figures that are "out of sync" with the overall economy.

Gallup warned last month that Obama's jobless numbers are out of sync. Now, even Bernanke is doing so.

Bernanke was a Bush appointee, so obviously these
“out of sync” employment numbers are Bush's fault.

Thanks for stating the obvious Ben. Glad you are on board.

I go by tax revenues to measure strength of the economy. No one pays taxes unless they have to and is a good measure of strength that the government has yet to contaminate.

Also go by Gallup polling on employment.

Bernanke is a tool of the group who destroyed the economy to put Obama in the White House.
He should be smart enough figure out why the employment numbers are "out of sync".

You know, I hope this continues. ‘Bam is so easily throwing people under the bus, it’s time for a little karma payback.

Maybe we should call it election-year math.

Math was my college major along with statistics and I ended up in computer sales.

Using selective numbers, I could always "prove" my product or service to be "twice as nice and half the price" but learned that logic and reason were always secondary in sales.

Really successful sales people always discover that selling is an emotional appeal, and a look, a sound, a smell, a fear ... is always the key in closing a deal.

The logic and reason are used by the buyer, after the fact to justify their purchase, because we all want to be seen as being the "adult" the calm rational, logical one, and not the "emotional" one being "sold".

There have been hundreds if not thousands of sales books, and tapes and lectures, but the underlying theme is always finding and knowing when to push the "hot button".

This is the same idea that the press tries to push that Americans "like" obama, trying to appeal to our emotions.

He and his whole administration, are absolute liars, whores, thieves, communist, pricks and I can show you the numbers to prove it.

Yep, and here is why:

Are you surprised?

Figures do not lie, but liars figure.

Bernanke is paraphrasing Joe Wilson, just doing it more politely.

And, if I’m not mistaken, the most recent jobless numbers (2012) from the regime are the first ones that incorporate “adjustments” from the 2010 census. Makes you wonder what sort of tweaking they did to get these numbers.

It's not that the *real* value of Apple is going up - it's that the value of the dollar is going *down*.
